    You can't find the story for all the ads that are on the page...Also, just as you go to click on "next" an ad pops up where you just clicked and now you looking at an ad that wasn't there 2 seconds ago. I've stop trying to read the story when the first page comes up and see I have to click through 15 pages to read a story.

  • JAMES WIEGAND commented  ·   ·  Report

    Every time I try read or take a quiz an ad for something comes up many times. This just makes me cancel what was reading on leave the AOL site. You people have really made this into a unfriendly site!

    Stop all pop up advertisements to people who pay for AOL service. Very annoying and distracting.

  • Paul commented  ·   ·  Report

    I pay $24 a month to see the News without pop ups.
    Usually can;t get thru umteen pages of the story before Pop Ups take it away. I may have to finally leave AOL too.

    Several news services use this to refresh the screen and put more ads on for you to see. That's not AOL doing it - it's the service. Boredom Therapy is one of them. Any time I see an article with their name associated with it I just skip.

    Give us a one click button to block spam web sights and junk ads. Your spam filters don't work. Do you really have to sell us out for a few cents per ad you get when we sign on.

    Infuriating !!! A waste of our very valuable time. You people are being paid for all of this; we're not and we cannot afford to waste all of the time needed to go from page to page while combating ads.

  • Ken R commented  ·   ·  Report

    stop with taking 15 pages on a story that could be done with one page!! Very irritating, VERY VERY SLOW and WAY TOO MANY ADS, (which I dont look at anyway) I thought that was why I pay now was to eliminate ads? KR16005

    the more people complain the more AOL subjects us to pop ups??? greed/greed/greed/greed!!!!!!!!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Really getting annoyed with all the adds. Especially when you try to close and the X keeps moving around. Trying to reed articles and a add will appear over the article. Enough is enough.

    Just trying to read a story on Brain Charm. IMPOSSIBLE! Too many stupid ads flopping around on the page. I don't know if anyone there knows, or even cares, how distracting this is. Maybe I'll find the story somewhere that doesn't have all those **** things. At least provide a way to shut the things off.

  • Paul Manypenny commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please STOP with the "next page" articles. Too many ads. Takes forever to load page. Articles not that interesting and who's really looking at the ads anyway!?!

  • MICHAEL GILL commented  ·   ·  Report

    I was TYING to read a feature, and, as usual, one of those big damned ads kept flopping around on the lower left. Can't shut the things off, so I quit reading the material. When will you boneheads give it up? AOL surely isn't friendly to this user! I guess it is all about money (a lakeside estate).

    I pay for AOL and do not want all the pop ups when I am trying to read something that is important to me.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I quit looking at the stories on AOL for just this reason. I am getting very close to bagging AOL and go somewhere else. Lots of alternatives.

  • DANIEL SCHEFFEY commented  ·   ·  Report

    Email page, advertising takes up right part of the page. Put pointer over a link to see where it will go and "****" I can't see the whole link because of the advertising. The link can't be typed in to be safe. **** is the color, not gold.

    I am sick of ads covering stories I try to read
    There is no way to get rid of them.
    Hate them

  • Roger commented  ·   ·  Report

    It is impossible to read anything on your welcome page because of getting covered up with advertisements. It sucks I'm looking to change servers""

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    aol cares more about the ads then giving long time paid consumers a workable product - sad!!!
